You didn't say where in Hampton you are starting, or where in Williamsburg
you want to end, so the best I can suggest to take Jefferson Ave (Rt 143) [turns into US 60 just past Ft Eustis after passing under I-64]. If you are tempted to detour onto the Colonial Parkway, I would recommend against it -- the "rustic" surface of the roadway (large pebbles in the concrete) create a very rough surface for bicycle travel. I tried to ride the Parkway from Yorktown Battlefield to Jamestown, but only made it as far as Colonial Williamsburg before I couldn't take the vibration any longer. If you are looking for recreational rides, try stopping at Bike Beat (4640-9B Monticello Ave) while you are in Williamsburg. They have a rack full of route maps. "mlmartinet" wrote in message ...

Matt I live in the Coliseum area. I haven't done it yet but I'm planning on going down the Hampton Roads Center Parkway to Wood Ave. to Route 17 to the Colonial Parkway. From Coliseum to the James River ferry by that route is about 40 miles. Xchequer |
